Description

Digit broadcasting system
The application is to be that August 27 calendar year 2001, application number are 01803027.0, are entitled as the dividing an application of application for a patent for invention of " digit broadcasting system " applying date.
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of digit broadcasting system, in described broadcast system, by the ofdm signal that the transport stream of stipulating in the MPEG-2 system according to orthogonal frequency-division transmission system (OFDM) system modulation obtains, broadcast by the radio network that constitutes by a plurality of transmission channels.
Background technology
In Japan, proposed as the ground digital audio droadcasting system use OFDM (orthogonal frequency-division transmission) modulation be called as ISDB-Tn (Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting-arrowband, ground) or ISDB-T SWBroadcast standard.In addition, in Japan, " the information on services ARIB STD-B10 that is used for digit broadcasting system " application standard as the configuration of the information on services, signal kinds and the data structure that are used for digital broadcasting and identifier thereof has been proposed by radio industry and commercial guild (ARIB)." the information on services ARIB STD-B10 that is used for digit broadcasting system " 1.3 editions have been announced in June, 2000.Hereinafter will call ARIB STD-B10 to " the information on services ARIB STD-B10 that is used for digit broadcasting system ".According to ARIB STD-B10, information on services is stipulated like this, makes to send (ITU-T is ISO/IEC1381-1 H.222.0) by the data structure of utilizing the selection type of stipulating in the MPEG-2 system.In the ground digital audio broadcasting of Japan, the configuration of the information on services of broadcast program is determined according to ARIB STD-B10.Announced 3.1 editions of ARIB STD-B10 on August 25th, 2000, this version is 1.3 editions a revised edition.
When carrying out the digital broadcasting of ofdm system, generally between each channel, provide the frequency interval of specified quantity so as to prevent and adjacent channel between radio frequency interference, thereby buffer zone is provided.In contrast to this, applicant of the present invention has proposed a kind of connection transmission method in international patent application (application number WO00/52861), and wherein adjacent channel connects along the direction of frequency, and the channel that connects is carried out the OFDM modulation.In described connection transmission method, the centre frequency of the ofdm signal in the frequency field of a plurality of transmission channels is changed respectively and ofdm signal is multiplexed along the direction of frequency, and the ofdm signal in the frequency field of a plurality of transmission channels is carried out IFFT (leaf transformation in the contrary good fortune fast) simultaneously and handles.Through above-mentioned processing, can be kept its orthogonality simultaneously along the direction of frequency by multiplexing to the ofdm signal of a plurality of transmission channels transmission.
In the connection transmission method of ofdm signal, though eliminated buffer zone between each channel, ofdm signal can connect a plurality of transmission channels by the direction along frequency axis and be transmitted, thereby can realize having the broadcasting of the frequency availability of improvement.
The current ISDB-Tn that is used for of this connection transmission method.
When carrying out this connection transmission, not only improved frequency availability, and for example, receiver side also has following advantageous effects.
For example, when the transmission channel that is used to receive ofdm signal was switched to another transmission channel, receiver was cancelled synchronization channels before conversion, and after conversion be tuned on the frequency of transmission channel.Then, after conversion, the synchronous code of the transmission of control signals in the receiver detected transmission channel (in the ISDB-Tn system, TMCC (send and multiplexing configuration control) is corresponding to transmission of control signals), and execution OFDM section (frames of the transmission data of ofdm signal) draw in operation synchronously.When finishing drawing in synchronously when operation of OFDM section, the signal of the transmission channel that receiver can the demodulation conversion.
In contrast to this, when connecting transmission, can the OFDM section between channel be produced transmission signals in synchronous.When as mentioned above when the OFDM section produces transmission signals by synchronous the time, receiver can use the synchronization timing of setting up continuously in transmission channel before conversion, also can use the synchronization timing in transmission channel, set up after conversion continuously, even when channel is switched to another channel between each transmission channel that connects transmission therein.Therefore, receiver can simplify be used for restituted signal draw in operation synchronously, thereby can carry out channel switch at a high speed.
In addition, applicant of the present invention has proposed the high speed channel conversion when being connected transmission in Japanese patent application 2000-117226 and 2000-117227.
When the modulating system of transmission channel was a kind of synchronous modulation system, receiver was inserted into the transmission characteristic of SP (pilot tone of dispersion) the signal estimation transmission line in the OFDM section by use, handled thereby carry out wave shape equalization.The SP signal is determined according to the standard of ISDB-Tn.Because the SP signal is inserted discretely with respect to frequency direction, receiver is along these SP signals of frequency direction interpolation, makes receiver can estimate in all sub-carrier positions in transmission channel the transmission characteristic for the OFDM symbol.But, the OFDM symbol of end that is arranged in the frequency direction of transmission channel has than the OFDM symbol of the center that is positioned at transmission channel and is reduced to such an extent that more relate to the quantity of the SP signal that is used to estimate. therefore, and the estimation feature variation in transmission channel along the transmission characteristic of the OFDM symbol of the end of frequency direction.
On the other hand, when the following adjacent channel (being close to the transmission channel of lower frequency side) of last adjacent channel that connects the transport-type synchronous modulation system (transmission channel of contiguous high frequency side) or synchronous modulation system just is present in the transmission channel in received signal, can estimate transmission characteristic by the SP signal that use is included in the neighbouring transmission channel.Thereby the OFDM symbol of end that is arranged in the frequency direction of transmission channel also can obtain to be similar to the interpolation feature of OFDM symbol of core of the frequency direction of transmission channel, and can estimate transmission line character more accurately.
As mentioned above, when connecting transmission, receiver side can carry out channel switch with high speed, perhaps can improve the estimation feature of transmission line character.
But, up to now, whether receiver side also there is no telling is just connecting information transmitted between the transmission channel of received signal and other transmission channel, and whether there is adjacent channel or whether has the information of adjacent channel down, in addition, do not know whether these channels are the information of synchronous modulation system or different modulating system yet.
